DCC offers a range of PPE glasses such as Safety Spectacles and Goggles alongside general Face Protection including Face Shields and Visors.
Carrying out a risk assessment to determine when PPE glasses need to be worn is an important step to take in protecting employees from potential hazards. If risks cannot be removed or reduced, it’s essential that employees are provided with the appropriate safety glasses for the tasks they carry out.
The best type of PPE glasses will be determined by the type of hazards the employee is likely to encounter in their specific role as well as any individual needs that the employee may have.
Training employees about the correct way to wear PPE glasses and when they are most at risk will help to reduce accidents.

Design - work safety glasses usually come in two specific designs.
Spectacle glasses hook over the ears and are taken on and off by pulling them off the front of the face.
Safety work goggles have a headband that goes around the back of the head to keep them in place and are removed by lifting them over the head.
